Chapter 1239: Bet

In the Building of Outstanding Heroes, a deep gorge extended from the lobby to the main entrance. Looking at the gorge, the expressions of all of the top grand forces gradually became grim. The scene before them was too bizarre, and they could not make sense of what was happening at all.

Xiong Ba's blow was so fierce, even an Upper Earthly Sovereign would have to use his full strength to defend himself against it. But, Mu Chen merely raised a hand in response, sending out a blow that caused Xiong Ba's spiritual energy to darken. Xiong Ba than fell back, spitting out a stream of blood as he went.

No matter which way anyone looked at it, this situation was suspicious. Hence many startled gazes swung towards Mu Chen, whose calm expression had not wavered. They obviously would not think that Xiong Ba had been playing the fool, so the only viable conclusion that they could make was that Mu Chen had used some trick.

Either way, not only was Xiong Ba's blow utterly useless, he had also fallen into such a sorry state, which was enough for them to understand that this youth, who was merely a Lower Earthly Sovereign, indeed had outstanding abilities. In fact, one could tell from his performance that he was worthy of ascending to the Upper Earthly Sovereign Battlefield!

A few grand forces who were unhappy with Mu Chen's stepping in went silent. They also took note of his name, as they sensed a dangerous aura coming from Mu Chen after his previous move.

Just as the grand forces in the Building of Outstanding Heroes were completely changing their impressions of him, at the front door, Xiong Ba stood up with bloodshot eyes. His body's ferocious spiritual energy, which had vanished suddenly, immediately gushed out again like a tornado.

His sunken chest rapidly recovered. Mu Chen's blow was not a killing blow, so while Xiong Ba looked to be in a sorry sight, such an injury was nothing to an Upper Earthly Sovereign's tenacious vitality!

However, even though his injuries were not severe, Xiong Ba's ego was badly bruised. He stared at Mu Chen with bloodshot eyes, then yelled, ”You ba*tard! What trick did you use just now?”

Xiong Ba was obviously incredibly frustrated. He never would have thought that he would lose control of his body's spiritual energy at such a crucial moment. This unforeseen event was obviously due to Mu Chen!

Mu Chen ignored his yells, and with a grasp of his palm, the alabaster jar that had fallen to one side flew into his hand. Then, he said nonchalantly, ”You are just incompetent!”

”I refuse to yield!” Xiong Ba roared ferociously, and with a stomp of his foot, his figure again flashed forward, like lightning.

Mu Chen merely rolled his eyes at Xiong Ba's furious move. He then asked, ”Ready to go another round? That will be another 80 million in Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.”

Whoosh!

Xiong Ba's wretched figure came to an immediate halt, and he looked at Mu Chen furiously, his hair almost standing on end. ”You want some more? In your dreams!”

Mu Chen smiled and said, ”No problem. I will get Mu Estate's Complete Earthly Sovereign to collect the debt.”

Xiong Ba's expression was stony and his fists were trembling. His fury almost made him lose all logical sense and kill Mu Chen right there and then. But, he finally reined in his anger, as the youth before him was no ordinary Lower Earthly Sovereign.

”I will remember this!” Xiong Ba's face changed drastically, while he turned and escaped the Building of Outstanding Heroes, his tail between his legs.

Witnessing Xiong Ba's pathetic exit, Xue Lingzi, who was standing at the side, wore an ugly expression. He stared maliciously at Mu Chen and said, ”This fellow appears to have gotten even stronger!”

Xue Lingzi gritted his teeth. It was evident that Mu Chen's abilities had increased massively in just one month.

”Next time, if you want to make a move, don't use someone else to do it for you, but just face me like a man!” Mu Chen smiled, but his gaze, which was directed at Xue Lingzi, was extremely icy. He naturally could tell that Xiong Ba had been manipulated by Xue Lingzi, sent to cause Mu Chen trouble.

Hearing this, Xue Lingzi gave a cold harrumph, then said coldly, ”Although I don't know what tactics you used, after seeing this fight, many people will be wary of you when you ascend to the Upper Earthly Sovereign Battlefield. So, when the time comes, you won't have an advantage either!”

This Xue Lingzi was indeed cunning and discerning, as he could tell that Xiong Ba had lost because he had engaged in direct spiritual energy contact with Mu Chen. As long as he guarded against this next time, Mu Chen's trump card would lose its efficacy!

”That despicable old man!” Luo Tianshen roared, obviously furious at Xue Lingzi.
